1969 Chevy Camaro - The Fun Factor

The NMCA-Edelbrock Drag Racing Series kicked off its 2010 season in usual fashion by invading Bradenton Motorsports Park (Florida) with its familiar dose of high-speed action from its heads-up racing ranks.The NMCA-Edelbrock Drag Racing Series kicked off its 2010 season in usual fashion by invading Bradenton Motorsports Park (Florida) with its familiar dose of high-speed action from its heads-up racing ranks. But one of the biggest highlights from this year’s season opener didn’t come from its heads-up ranks but rather from the True Street category, where Frank Soldridge of PSI Motorsports dominated the competition. The Pennsylvania resident drove Vincent Fiore’s ’69 Camaro Z/28 to a record-breaking average of 7.74 seconds and set NMCA history. It was a mighty feat, considering the category’s strict code of conducta 30-mile cruise on the local streets followed by three consecutive runs down the quarter-mile without the benefit of a cooldown or popping the hood. The three runs are averaged together for the final ranking, and the class attracts a wide range of cars from showroom stock to unlimited vehicles, like the first-generation F-body featured on these pages.
